Please join us and ride in the 32nd El Tour de Tucson on November 22nd, presented by Casino Del Sol Resort and sponsored by Special Olympics. Our Tucson, Arizona chapter is excited to have the opportunity to raise funds on behalf of Southern Arizona Honor Flight by cycling in this fun and amazing event. The Tucson chapter of Twilight Wish Foundation has been granting wishes to low-income veterans and seniors since 2006. In supporting Honor Flight through Twilight Wish, you can give a proud Arizona WWII veteran the chance to feel the impact of all their services, as well as our nation's gratitude by sending him or her on a very special flight to Washington D.C. to see the WWII memorial. Event distances for El Tour are 1/4, 5 and 12 mile fun rides or 40, 55, 75 and 104 mile rides for the more advanced cyclist. Register with us today and as an official Twilight Wish cyclist, we will pay your registration fees totaling $145 and provide you with a Twilight Wish cycling jersey. We only ask that you raise at least $250 (per rider) to help support this great cause. Help us share in the responsibility of keeping our deserving veterans from being forgotten.
